I made spaghetti on Sunday and I created a recipe. I used Turkey, bell peppers and onions, italian seasoning and little garlic salt and pepper, and diced tomatoes. I added each item into the diary and then I split it up into one cup servings. My pot yielded about 7 servings of 1 cup so i then divided the total of all of…

I just simply want to lose weight...And in all honesty, all of this is fun for me. I enjoy logging my food and exercise and watching the things I eat. I enjoy exercise. My fav areas of study are English and History...

Yup...We can pay for all of the necessities in life so why not pay for our health? Gym Membership, healthy eats, activites and aerobic accessories. Good Luckt to you but i wouldnt pay the money for that program either when eventually, I will have to learn to eat right, count calories, make correct choices and so on. Its a…

Hair, Nail and Skin vitamins that you can get from the drug store. I take Hairfinity vitamins. My hair has grown longer over the past year, I can tell u that but ive also done other things like cut back on chemicals and using extensions and braid styles to protect my hair from combing and brushing everyday. Also when my…

Love the app! It gave the most healthiest Snack in our vending machines a b-....planters peanuts. Also gives suggestions for alternatives That's why I've now incorporated Cheerios as my cereal. Even the flavored ones score higher than the other cereals

^^^^ This i still eat the bun. i think the entire sandwich is like 240 calories. Chicken, lettuce mayo and the bun. Its pretty tasty too

Chic fil a side salad and chic fil a chicken salad sandwich with diet lemonade and my water

I wouldn't say that the gym is punishment. I think it's good that she went. But I do agree to freeze them and eat a few as a treat every now and again

I drink about 64 ounces a day and I feel great. Also, you shouldn't drink water just when you're thirsty. The key is to avoid dehydration I think some ppl like to convince themselves that water is not important because they don't like it or would rather have a diet soda. Hey, do you . But U won't see me giving up my water

I love carrots and a little ranch dressing

I put a crystal light packet in my water and i just put it as my "drinks" area. I count plain water as it, crystal light does have some calories and water is supposed to be one of the purest things on earth, that filters your liver and flushes out toxins and has nohing in it. Crystal light does not count for me. Just my…

http://straighthealth.com/pages/qna/loseweightnoexercise.html Interesting read....im sure there is plenty more where that came from as well. it pretty much states that you CAN lose by a calorie deficit, but its really not the best idea. I know we all have different goals....I want to look good with clothes on and off....I…

I count water as water... My body is made up of water which I lose daily by activity. I need that water back to function and also to filter my kidneys Mio and Crystal light r not pure water.... Just substitutes for ppl who don't want to drink one of the purest things on earth Nothing wrong with Mio or Crystal light , I…

If that was the case I wouldn't have a friend who had a bypass and ate less with nasty fatty flab

That is EXACTLY why im striclty water for the most part. Its easy now. I start my day with a bottle which is 2 cups in itself and then just refill my 24 oz sippie cup throughout the day and right before work when i hit the gym. Id rather eat calories than drink them too

I had a diet soda....which is not really that bad. Maybe because im eating a little better. Onlyr eason I had it was because i was at the movies and had already gulped down 8 cups of water and considered that a treat. Other than that, just water and ill have 100% Cranberry no sugar added by Ocean Spray and thats my treat…

Turkey Lasagna and Caesar Salad. Might have a little but of Turkey chili since i ate the lasagna hours ago. I know there will be some for lunch tomorrow.

I always get the Honey Mustard Sometimes I'll get the 8 count nuggets and side salad. Less than 500 cals

A friend of mine who is a Chem Major told me the body breaks down fruit sugar and table sugar in the exact same way. Also why most people prefer not to drink lots of 100% juice all of the time, but water mainly. I would never cut fruits out all the way, but I wouldn't eat an abundance of them. Sugar is Sugar. From Cane to…

Thats all I really do too. Just count the calories. If i get it w/o the brown sugar and just the fruit, and do the same at home it is the same difference to me. I pay 2.00 and some change for the convenience of being in a hurry and not being able to make it myself

I was just about to say that. You can get it w/o the Brown Sugar. Still pretty good to me. I think about 230 calories or so. Of course dont eat it everyday, but if you put fruit in your own Oatmeal and Brown Sugar, same difference.

I agree. I actually love the taste of water, Especially when hot. it just gets boring to me is all and it is hard to drink it all day long, but i do. Maybe 1 crystal light pack in my 16.9 oz but thats it

They sometimes have diet like items, just look on the menu I would try something like Chicken Chow mein, with the white meat chicken and veggies in a light sauce. Just dont eat the rice or maybe just a pinch of it. The chicken chow mein cant be that bad as its usuallt on the diet menu. Or u can do Chicken and Broccoli, no…

+1.....Im not sure where the excuses are coming from, if u dont allow your child to eat it, they wont eat it. Discipline. Thats like my mother letting me sit there and eat ice cream til my tummy hurts as a child. No....1 bowl and thats it. I guess i just listened to my mother. There was an authoritive attitude that came…

Agreed....Last i checked, the child was NOT the parent. When i grew up, children listened to what parents said or there would be consquences. Chicken nuggets would not have flied in my home. Especially since my mother cooked everyday after work. Yes, when you dont know how to tell your child no, maybe you shoud not be a…

i wear lots of wigs and i also have a weave in now. So i just wrap my hair up. I hated wearing my permed fresh wrap to the gym. Im going to start wearing my hair out in the next few months since its pretty long now, so wrapping it up i will continue to do

Two Tilapia Filets and mixed veggies.....filling and low cal

I went ahead and bought both. I love SILK Vanilla Soy Milk....So bomb...But i really want to try Almond since it has less Cals in it. So i bought both. Better than regular milk...taste wise and health wise

Im new too....I can be your fitnesspal. My routine is a little different than most. Just trying to lose about 5 lbs and then tone it into muscle to eventually gain weight. Currently 5'4.5 and 147 lbs.

8 Beautiful!
